Hi guys, I guess virtually everyone on this site is on some combination of medication - either following their procedure or leading up to it.
I am not due to have any procedure until my stenosis and aortic dilation becomes more than 'moderate'. Meanwhile I take an assortment of drugs, some of which have had very unpleasant side effects.
At present I am on aspirin, Bempedoic acid [temporarily suspended due to effect on digestion], Bisoprolol, Olmesartan, Omeprazole and Rivoxaban. I was until recently on Amlodipine that caused major digestive problems.
It seems a bit of a trial and error situation to find the drugs that suit you, but I would be interested in other people's experiences
Good luck. It only took me a year to go from being newly diagnosed with moderate aortic regurgitation to moderate/severe and needing surgery. Keep up with your regular ECHOs.
